In the beginning of 1999, Pinuccia Buscaglia decided to sign up for
an Ashtanga yoga course to regain balance in her hectic life
as a manager. Six months later, she met Lino Miele in one of
his workshops, and little by little, her life started to
change. During 2001, she began assisting in Ashtanga classes. In September the same year, she met Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and his family in Helsinki and had the privilege of spending some
unforgettable afternoons with them after the workshop.
By the end of 2002, Pinuccia quit her job and dedicated her
entire time to the study of Ashtanga yoga. She assisted Lino
in Kovalam during his workshop and went with him to Mysore
to experience self-practice with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in
2004. After a number of years under Lino's apprenticeship and assisting him in Italy and abroad,
Pinuccia felt prepared to teach and started conducting her
own Ashtanga classes in Milano. In 2008 Lino sent her to
teach in the Astanga Yoga School of Helsinki. In association
with some of Lino's long-term assistants, she is one of the
founders of the Astanga Yoga School in Milano, where she
teaches daily. She is presently studying the advanced A series with
Lino.
